Brand new dell with xp but...

I'm having a couple of problems:

The tab key on keyboard does not move the cursor from one
window to the next. I've never seen that problem before.

I created some bookmarks in IE7 and then tried to drag them
to desktop. I have always been able to do that, but it didn't
work this time. This is a brand new computer Inspiron 1505
with XP.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Use Alt+Tab

Works okay on my machine. Phone Dell's tech support.

Good luck
